date:20150731

I worked as a developer for the State developing and maintaining an
intranet based in Drupal 7.  The site served just under 2000 employees, 7
divisions contributed content to the site, which included department
events, rss feeds to the different program blogs, ties to social media,
traffic cam images of the freeways, forms and policies, employee handbook,
policies, programs, calendaring items, commenting, and comment
notifications, etc.

Lots of polices in the form of PDF's stored in the files folder under
default.  We had 3 years of versioning.  Tons of images of events,
programs, procedures, etc. The site consisted of about 320 modules
(including core), The main database (MySQL) had upwards of 285 tables.  The
site was a hybrid 2 frameworks and 2 MySQL databases,  Laravel and Drupal
7.  We used javascript plugins like social stream, the Twitter api,
Instagram's OAuth2 api.

The front end was built in Foundation 4, with SCSS for mobile first.  Lots
of jQuery.  All in all it was about 420,000 lines of code, between CSS,
JavaScript, PHP.  A SQL dump of the main database was about 55MB.  I
developed locally with a full copy on my MacBook Pro.  I didn't do the
initial build, a vendor did, I maintained and extended its features, and
spent a lot of time improving response times by tweaking the LAMP stack
settings, Drupal's config settings, and implementing cache.

Heavy use of Features, Context, Display Suite, Views, Flags, Rules, tons of
others etc.  all of the major modules, We were implementing Apache Solr and
Tika to crawl the pdf files and build an internal index of all the policies
etc. and create a faceted search feature for the site when I left the state
and started at my current position.

2015-07-31 Thread joe

Why is wifi failing to connect on one phone when others on my system
connect okay?

It says the signal is excellent and "Authenticating"
with secured WPA/WPA2 PSK a correct password entered
but then it says "disconnecting" and "disabled"

Can't figure out why or how to fix the problem.

Re: Samba Connecting, cannot transfer files




I want to replace a LAMP dev box, that is an old laptop, which uses 
Samba so I can edit files right on the server - like what you described. 
It is really slick and a time saver. I am hoping to do so with 
VirtualBox.  I have an i5 desktop w/ 8G RAM.  It runs Mint 17 KDE.  I 
wanted to build multiple guests on VirtualBox to do LAMP development.  
Exactly what you described.  I currently need CentOS 6 and Ubuntu 14.04 
LTS.


This is all on a private IP so I am not that concerned about security.

I'll look into NAS.

Thanks very much!!

btw I'd like to hear more about your 1g Drupal install.

This may not be an issue for you depending on use case.

If your file sharing use case is for Web development you may find that
samba is not any faster (even when you get it working) and may be
slower than Guest Additions (GA). Just an FYI.  I only use Samba as a

offer more security and more features for mission critical production

Just my 2 cents.

Re: Samba Connecting, cannot transfer files

If you are looking for a fast way to get VirtualBox VM's up and running for
LAMP development you should install and look into using Vagrant.  It is a
provisioner which uses Ruby to automatically build VM's in VirtualBox.  I
have a simple setup of provisioning scripts that stand up LAMP servers
using Vagrant.  Feel free to use it, or make it your own.

I'm not working on anything specifically now, but the recent thread about
"xargs" vs. "-exec" got me thinking about it, I have seen and used column,
but (at the time) I was trying to create output in a table like
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| header1 | header2 | header3 |
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| value  |  value |  value |
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

so on and so forth.  I've seen that done, its fancy and I know that kind of
magic is done with printf (among other things) ... have you produced output
like that?

 Thanks for the comments from Stephen and James.

 This has unfortunately been a very frustrating experience, having
 tried VirtualBox, KVM, and now even VMware Workstation, just try to
 get something working, and each is fubar for some reason under ubuntu.

 Virtualbox always works well, but for some reason won't import the
 disk (some kind of uuid issue reading the disk image).
 KVM packages just seem broken under ubuntu, as does apparmor (as usual).
 VMware Workstation/Player 11 does nothing but give me "permission
 denied" when trying to make a vm as a user, then as root tells me
 there is no space left with 40gb in the volume.

 I haven't seen this many f'd up package or app installs under ubuntu
 in a while, though I expect it of VMware - they can't make linux
 clients to save their life.  KVM I was surprised to see it's as much a
 basketcase under ubuntu as it was.  Seems if people use it, they do so
 with the rh variants, for a reason.

 All I wanted was a stupid F5 load-balancer virtual appliance to run to
 lab, instead 3 days wasted.  Ugh.

 Thanks again all.

Re: OT - sort of

I have a 500 GB WD drive, and a 120 GB Samsung SSD; I run Linux Mint
currently and usually have several virtual machines of different distros,
always Linux. I have OS on SSD, use the WD drive for storage, etc.
Disabling some logs or changing what is logged, where, and throwing all
that type of data on WD drive so my SSD lives longer. I also enabled trim.
I may or may not have this right, time will tell. Between books and google,
I got enough information to be comfortable running the SSD. It is fast, and
so far great. I may need to adjust my partitioning to include lvm or not,
reading about that now. Most of the info I read said that SSD life span is
much better than before, but using Linux I think the tweaks do matter.

Re: Samba Connecting, cannot transfer files

Virtualbox has a plugin called Guest Additions which is an iso that you
can download, and configure to add file sharing capabilities between the
guest VM and the host system.  You can then mount a host folder and it will
show up as a native folder on the VM.  While this is convenient and fairly
easy to use it has a few draw backs.  It can be slow to access and some
have reported file corruption issues when there are  a large amount of
files and subfolders in the share.  This may not be an issue for you
depending on use case.

I use VirtualBox VM's as LAMP servers for local development and test
environments for my web application projects.  One Drupal project had 1+GB
of core/module/templates and custom templates in it.  Using Guest Additions
to share the document root folder of the project with my MacBook Pro core
i5 with 8 GB proved to be slow for the VM to render the site in my test
browsers (upwards of 10 - 20 seconds sometimes).  The fastest/simplest
share setup was to use an NFS mount in the VM.

If your file sharing use case is for Web development you may find that
samba is not any faster (even when you get it working) and may be slower
than Guest Additions (GA). Just an FYI.  I only use Samba as a fileserver
(NAS) when I have to have the share accessible to Windows, Mac, and Linux
machines.  There are other options besides NFS that offer more security and
more features for mission critical production file sharing, but if your use
case is simple local web development/testing NFS is (I think) the simplest
to implement. and faster than GA or Samba.

Just my 2 cents.

Re: O/T : Looking for an entry level LAMP developer for contract work.

I think problem solving skills are vital, because no matter who you are
chances are that eventually something will break and you are not familiar
with the system at all. You may know Linux, Windows, Servers, but what
broke was internet protocol settings, which you don't work on normally.
Using the same process for every problem will work, and then you can
identify the information to read to learn your fix. Identify the actual
problem, including the priority and level of impact on the company. Using
your knowledge of what is working right, you should be able to come up with
a theory, an educated guess. Next, assuming you are right, you would try
out the tool or setting that will fix the hypothetical issue to see if it
works. If not, try again. If so, then document everything, your knowledge,
your guesses, your steps towards the fix. Then test it to see if everything
has returned to normal functionality, and test thoroughly. If you still
have problems, no worries, because every time you get it wrong you still
know more, and either success of failure needs documentation. Some time
down the road another person can use your information to fix their problem.
When you don't have any ideas, it is time to consult any available
documentation, manuals, forums are very helpful, not forgetting good old
google. If you can reach out to a friend in the industry great. Most
important is not knowing how to fix something, it is knowing how to find
information because then there is nothing you can't do with the right book
or help.

Re: O/T : Looking for an entry level LAMP developer for contract work.

2015-07-31 Thread David Schwartz

ahh, I remember … it was BTrieve.

It supported record-level locks, but it started with a file lock. 

IIRC, a record-lock eased the file lock from RW to RO.

But there were tons of folks who didn’t bother with adding calls to do record 
locks into their code.

And lots of reporting modules didn’t bother. But they’d collide with anybody 
else who tried to do extensive RW operations.

I don’t recall the details, but I recall seeing this proble crop up several 
times at different places.

Re: Samba Connecting, cannot transfer files



Not on both.  Interesting on the "Vm writable" = yes does not show.

There was a couple differences.  The VN mirrors the one that works. 
restarted nmb and smb and still cannot write files.  While I was 
researching this issue today I found that others were complaining about 
not being able to write to guest VM's on VirtualBox, Linux to Linux.


I also found a reference that said VirtualBox has a way to to file 
transfers.  I need to read it.  Maybe this week end... I have other 
thing that need my attention.  Sure would like to find an answer.  I 
think it is a VirtualBox thing.

I'm mounting the actual drive on my samba server as ext4 with

 My shares are used for backup not daily rw activity.

Are you mounting using cifs ?

My share is in CentOS 6.6 and my desktop is Mint 17 kde.

I have a samba server on a LAMP dev box and it mounds just fine

cifs with the mount command being in the fstab.

I wonder if there is a conflix between the two boxes or if there

I spun up a minimul CentOS VM and can ping etc. Turned off
SElinux
and IPTables. Installed and configured Samba and the same thing is

I can connect and brows just not upload files. I can even create

I set the share to 0777.

Have you run testparm from the command line on both of your samba servers
to see what is different between the servers

Here’s something:

A while back I had a contract in a support Dept at a Big Corp in town.
When I started, I was told, “Don’t do anything except hold their

One Friday morning about two weeks into the contract, I arrived at
work and everybody in my Dept was gone except me. I wasn’t alerted
ahead of time.

Around 11:45 AM, three people appeared at my cube door: the FInance
Mgr (head of Dept), Payroll Mgr, and someone else.

The FM said, “I guess you’re the only Support person here today.” I
said, “Looks that way.”

He said, “Look, we’ve got a problem here and I need you to get it
fixed. TODAY. If you don’t your contract is caput. We need someone who

As far as SteveT’s question goes … THIS IS PURE PROBLEM-SOLVING
ABILITY. I had no exposure or knowledge to their system at all. I’d
been there for 2 weeks and didn’t have a clue about their software,
hardware, network, or anything.


I’m like, “Well, ok. What’s the problem?”

They proceeded to explain it to me … which I’ll summarize here only
because some of you will get a chuckle out of it.

Payroll starts running their check run at 11:30 AM.  After about 10
minutes, it hangs-up. They have to abort the run, void the checks, and
start over. It usually keeps happening. They run it specifically over
lunch because most of the Financial Dept is at lunch, so nobody’s
online.

I poked around and noticed there were a couple of people running
reports, including the gal in the cube next to me. (They ran these
reports that went to Epsons dot-matrix printers and they’d run for
about 45 minutes.)

BTW, this is some kind of accounting system running on a bunch of old
DOS machines (circa 1995) hooked into a Banyan Vines LAN, sharing
access to files on a file server.

I looked at how the gal in the next cube ran her reports. It was a
batch file that looked like this:

runrptapp.exe xyz abc >lpt

(I forget what devices were on DOS, but … notice the right-arrow.)

Digging around, I discovered that this app, which I’m calling
runrptapp.exe, opens the database file on the server, which happens to
be the same database file the Payroll app used. It was a very popular
database back then (i forget the name, but it’s not dBase). I happened
to know that that particular database used FILE-LEVEL locking.

Notice the right-arrow …

Question: who starts off their reports first: the gal in the next
cube, or Payroll?

Answer: gal in the next cube! At 11 AM, because she needs it for a 2PM
meeting, and it usually crashes over lunch and needs to be restarted.

Did you notice the right-arrow ...

What happens is she runs her report and the printer is fed data in
real-time as the report extracts records from the DB. After a while,
it has extracted as much as it can before the print buffer gets filled
up, and it starts to crawl along.

Some time after she starts runnign her report (15-20 mins), the
Payroll Dept starts their check run.

It access the same DB.

Notice that right-arrow … and think, “file-level locking” … and
“Payroll wants to run against this DB at the same time …

hmmm …. changed the BAT file to this:

The vendor had sent out their top support people, and even sent their

Turns out, the Finance Dept didn’t like this piece of software and it

Texas Instruments - this was about 1977.  He told me they would swap 
chip that did not make it though qa because of the stuff printed on them 
was not good enough or other minor defects that would not effect the 
chip's functionality.  Along the way he started hacking the Apple II and 
at one job early on the developers were having difficulty getting an app 
to work and they were just about to scarp it because they could not 
figure it out.


He says he asked to have a crack at it and they gave him a week.  He 
said he fixed it a day and from that point on her was a programmer.  He 
is now doing well in upper management with his 1 year of college.

Thanks Alexander!

I added some content on how to get xargs to better handle spaces and

well, considering I am most familiar with mac these days, that would be where a 
lot of my experience would work for me. Still, Linux does have its uses here. I 
can run it on hardware that OS X won't even look at and windows would just BARG

people hear complain about the heat and I just laugh and say that
people in Florida have no idea. One of the women I know down here has
a brother that lives in Phoenix and I'm told that he says the same
thing,. It is paradise here! You sweat because of the humidity but it
is not hot here. The weather guys talk about a heat index, or what it
feels like, and I say that is Bologna. 99 degrees with the heat index
making it feel 110 does not feel like 110. it feels like 99 but your
sweat doesn't feel like an evaporative cooler.

Re: Samba Connecting, cannot transfer files

I am assuming that you've checked the ownership of the files and folders to
ensure that user 'keith' and group 'keith' existing and are assigned
correctly.  If you are using the group keith, have you added the following
line to your share in samba:

valid users = @keith +keith
The @ symbol indicates a group and a + indicates a samba username to add to
the share.  If the username 'keith' has been added to the group named
'keith' in /etc/group and the group ownership of all files and folders is
listed as keith, than you should only need:
valid users = @keith
and it should be working.

If the ownership of the group is not correct.  from the parent directory of
the share folder you may want to do:
chown -R keith:keith /

Hi,

I am running Mint 17 KDE. I've uploaded Virtualbox and created a

I created a user on the VM and created the same user as a Samba
user.
I created a directory off root : /work
smb and nmb are both running.
in the /etc/samba/smb.conf I:
1) set the workgroup - I do not think this is necessary since I
am
connection from Linux.
2) commented out all the cups references
3) added the following lines:

- path = /work
- writable = yes
- browseable = yes
- read only = no

SELinux is disables
IPTables is disabled

I have the exact same config on a laptop running CentOS 6.6 and
it
works fine. Only difference is the laptop mounts and connects to
Samba from the fstab.

To connect to the Samba share on the VM I issue the following
command from my desktop's command line:

sudo mount -t cifs -o user='username' //192.168.20.51/work/ [1]
[2] [1]
[1]

/mnt/centos6 (command line on my desktop)

It mounts and I can view the /work directory in Dolphin on the
the
parent (mint 17 KDE desktop).

I cannot upload files though.

To test I : chmod -R 777 /work which did not help.

I checked the Samba logs and they contain almost nothing - no
errors are being logged.

I've scoured the internet and am finding no solution.

create mask = 0755

Re: Samba Connecting, cannot transfer files

Have you checked for
 any conflicts in the options portion in the mount statement of the drive
where the share is located in the fstab file of the samba server ... with
the mount statement on the samba client box? Your cifs mount statement
calls for the username option.
, does the mount statement for the drive where the file being shared on
the server allow this user name option?

Re: ot - boric acid and cockroaches

another good product, especially if you have pets, is diatemateous earth.
it resembles flour, and pets or people, even babies can eat it without
harm. It is deadly for anything with an exoskeleton though, which is most
bugs. it acts like tiny razors to them and they die fast. I discovered it a
few years ago to combat fleas and I had three dogs so it had to be safe for
them. I not only did my inside of house, but the front yard too. almost
three years now and we have not had even one flea on any of our dogs, and
don't need to use drops or collars. Make sure to get the type that does NOT
go in pools and you'll be amazed. The kind used in pools isn't safe for
pets.

 Sort of correct.  Insects breathe through spiracles (not follicles).
 http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/20/whats-the-best-way-to-kill-cockroaches
 says that borax abrades the waxy coating on roach exoskeleton, so the
 roaches dehydrate.
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boric_Acid#Insecticidal says borax
 interferes with insect metabolism as well.

Re: ot

CLR works way better than anything else, just read directions because
depending on what you need to use it on you may need to do a different
product. I use it on all sorts of things, if the surface is plastic it may
melt. and you can use to clean out dishwasher, coffee makers, the label
will tell you. I like it because I usually don't even have to scrub just
apply the CLR and its done.

Re: do we have a community outreach program?

Well enjoy Florida! Okay, I will do my best. I had my ankle fused in May
and next week will start physical therapy, and hopefully I will be good to
drive in a couple weeks. As soon as I am able to drive, I will go to the
next installfest. Is there anyone else you have been talking about this
with that I should talk to? Well good luck, Florida has to be better than
Arizona summertime!

Re: I don't know if this has come up yet but....

2015-07-31 Thread Eric Oyen

well,
take a look at craigslist parent company: Ebay. Fully 35% of their operation is 
Linux Centric. Mostly, its the 90,000 or so email and backend servers running 
in virtual machines (like VMware). THey also run windows on some desktops as 
well as an active directory infrastructure. However, one of their biggest usage 
bases inside the company  are all of the Macbook pros they use. THere is a tiny 
sliver of OpenBSD border routers and load balancers as well. BTW, this 
information comes from a friend that works as a Sr. Systems Admin in the 
Infrastructure development Dept.
